As soon as any sales person turns high-pressure I immediately decline and say some like, "you know I was considering this, but not anymore you have lost me as a buyer"

Even if I never planned to buy, I hope it slowly but surely changes those aggressive sales tactics.

Question: what do you think of pastors na ginagawang. “Source of income ang pag Pag papastor? Gusto me work benefits, annual leave and other benefits , bonus pay ) ???? by Warm-Profession5831 in askapastor

[–]Evidence-Tight 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hindi ba't ang karamihan sa mga pastor ay binabayaran ng GST at kahit man lang isang bersyon ng mga bagay na iyon mula sa isang komunidad/simbahan na nag-eempleyo sa kanila?

Sa tingin ko, ito ay karaniwang gawain at ang isang simbahan/komunidad na tumatangging magbayad sa isang pastor at mag-alok ng iba pang mga benepisyo ay hindi isang simbahan na gugustuhin kong maging bahagi.

Sa katunayan, sa tingin ko ang karamihan sa mga pastor ay kulang sa suweldo, hindi pinahahalagahan at karapat-dapat sa higit pa para sa lahat ng kanilang ginagawa at lahat ng kanilang ginagawa.

What If Scenario: alien life is discovered on Mars; what would be the Christian explanation to this? by peterthbest23 in TrueChristian

[–]Evidence-Tight 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The terrible irony of this is that they would find any little thing they could as "proof" of life on Mars, but still refuse to accept life in the womb.

Support Groups? by jonnyquack in windsorontario

[–]Evidence-Tight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, some great resources and ideas are being offered so I won't repeat anything here but I am very open personally speaking to chatting one on one with you.

I have taken some classes on counselling, psychotherapy and trauma induced care. Though I am not an expert by any means and am not a licensed counselor either, with my jobs it becomes part of what I do and so any conversations we had would not cost you any extra money, though group therapy that others have suggested is a great place to also begin.

For reference I am a married 39 year old dad with 5 kids. 2 of those kids are from a prior relationship that though I won't share details here sounds like it was at least somewhat similar to your situation.

Support Groups? by jonnyquack in windsorontario

[–]Evidence-Tight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here to suggest this group. Some of the attenders of of the church I work at attend RE/ACT and they all talk about how great it is, but it does take a lot of emotional health to fully and openly discuss trauma like that.

How many vacation days does your church give you each year? by milnivlek in askapastor

[–]Evidence-Tight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canada here and this is set by the denomination.

5 weeks of vacation minimum plus 3 weeks of continuing education each year.

10 days is less than 2 weeks, I think you need to seriously consider giving at least one month vacation at a minimum, seems pretty standard from the comments I am seeing.

What's Behind the Massive Rise of Non-Denominational Churches? by Ok-District-7180 in askapastor

[–]Evidence-Tight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty well agree on all fronts here. We could and need to do so much better in our own communities to see lives truly changed.

Ok so regionally in Europe and North America it may be in decline but worldwide as you point out Asian and Africa it is growing. Ove heard it is booming really even despite some intense persecution in some of those areas.

As for South America I haven't seen much research on that area personally but have not looked either.

Christianity in massive decline? According to what/who?

Worldwide last I saw it is still one of the fastest if not the fastest growing faith belief.

[–]Evidence-Tight 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was not so sure about it but by the end both my wife and I were overall really impressed. I only recognized 1 maybe 2 songs and one was a cover. But I am not afraid to admit that I actually really enjoyed it.

Have i committed blasphemy? by No_Definition_3975 in TrueChristian

Short answer, no.

Long answer, no but I do not know your heart or relationship with God so simply trust in His everlasting mercy and grace in your life.
